Inspired by the wood-fired Robata grills of Japan, Mizu offers a refreshed take on live-fire cooking atop the Hyatt Centric in the heart of Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood. Opened in August of 2021 and named one of 2022's "25 Best New Restaurants" and "50 Best Restaurants" by Charlotte Magazine, the rooftop restaurant by Indigo Road Hospitality Group (IRHG) combines the traditions of ancient Japanese cooking with Southern influences and Asian flavors. The kitchen, anchored by Mizu’s own Robata grill, features a seafood-focused menu composed of wood-fired, raw, and chilled offerings.

The beverage program focuses on bright, easy-drinking libations using Japanese spirits and seasonal ingredients, complementing the cuisine and atmosphere. With a chic, minimalist design with natural elements throughout, the restaurant, named for the Japanese word for water, offers sweeping rooftop views from the patio, as well as sophisticated interiors and comfortable lounge and bar seating.

    Service very attentive, food average. Best dishes are the pork belly buns, brussels sprouts and robata steak. The duck skewers was the worst dish of the night, fried rice was bland. The two sushi rolls are okay, just too much sauce over them.

    Our first dining experience at Mizu was a birthday celebration. The nighttime skyline views set the mood and the lighting made it feel romantic as a couple. Every member of the staff welcomed us as we were led to our seats it made the experience feel so personal! Chrissy was fantastic she explained the menu and our meal was terrific based on her recommendations and she had a great personality. The sushi rolls were some of the best I’ve ever eaten the grilled fish was delicious and the speciality cocktails were very good as well. We will definitely go back based on the pleasurable experience we had tonight!

    My husband and I had a fantastic experience here. After a full day of travel, we booked a dinner at our hotel to make things easy and were so pleasantly surprised at how delightful Mizu was. We were blown away by how welcoming and kind everyone was - special kudos to the manager, Jonas, and our server, Kimberly. The food was excellent - we honestly enjoyed everything that we ate, and it wasn't your "run of the mill" menu. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable but was just enough upscale, so it felt like a nice date. The cocktails were delightful - paired well with everything we ate and were creative and fun. We would highly recommend to anyone venturing this way. Thanks to the Mizu team for a great experience!

    The only thing more amazing than the food is the service! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Mizu and it was perfect. Every team member we interacted with was so kind and helpful - a sign of great leadership. Our waitress Juliette was wonderful and we didn’t want for anything. We ordered several items to share. Standout dishes were the negi ma, shrimp crunch roll and Brussel sprouts, but we didn’t have a bad bite. My husband loved his old fashioneds. Being pregnant I couldn’t enjoy any of the raw dishes or cocktails but I am looking forward to going back and trying both!

    My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner at Mizu. Julianne who took care of us for the evening was so pleasant and made our dining experience a great night out. We were never rushed at any point, and we loved getting recommendations as to what to order. The food tasted as wonderful as it looked.

    Went for our second time to celebrate our anniversary. The staff went above and beyond on service as it was our anniversary. The food was out of sight, and we had one of the best overall dining experiences. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion. Order as much as you can from the Rubato grill as it was the highlight. That said all the food was incredible.

    Won’t “Miz” this spot. Sushi was not that great. The price definitely does not justify the quality which in my opinion was subpar. Salmon nigiri was fishy and chewy. Kitchen staff seemed lax and playful. If you’re going to have an open concept kitchen it should be more professional. Additionally, it wasn’t that busy and our server took a very long time to check on us throughout the night.

    We had a great experience at Mizu for my birthday dinner. They treated us a complimentary shrimp cocktail to start, a side of carrots (that were delish!) and champagne to end the meal. We had some of the best sushi in a while here, very fresh and flavorful. We will definitely be back!

    Had reservations for party of two on a Tuesday night at 6:30 pm. It took a while for the hostess to check us in and seat us. While few table were full, service was slow. The server was prompt but it took a long time to get drinks that we ordered from the bar thus delaying our food order. The food was expedited and Plated well but nothing outstanding. The plates were expensive since they were tapas and not great value. The tap water did not taste right so we ordered bottle water. The cocktails were ok. restaurant see

    Overall very good. We did find the Pork Belly Buns had very tough pork in them. You could not chew thru them, just had to take the entire pieces in your mouth and work on them, or cut them with a knife ahead of time. The rolls were very good, the black rice lacked any flavor or seasoning.

    They make vegetables taste like heaven. The server took it upon herself to have accommodations made for the plates that were not gluten free so I could enjoy them with my guests. Then, she brought a complimentary container of our favorite side to take home. Amazing food, incredibly thoughtful service.
